Thank you for that. I don't have any experience with the Layla. I know that the Andromeda is super sensitive so if someone has specifically tried it with the mini please let me know.

Layla is 117dB/mw @ 20ohm, Andromeda is 112.8dB/mw @ 12.8ohm. I'd be extremely surprised if anyone could detect background noise from the GS-X mini with IEM's when the amp is set to any volume level likely to be used with an efficient IEM. If you max the volume on high gain, you will hear a very soft background noise, but of course blow your IEM's if any signal was put through.

Perfect! Thanks for the info.

Hey Matt, no hiss with my JH Layla or several other IEM's I've tried.

My experience as well with the IEMs that I have on hand.

Are you gonna evaluate other dacs also?

It most certainly does.

Does it sound better than Dave solo?

It's a GS-X Mini review, so I'm gonna through the DAVE at it and maybe my Hugo 2.

With the Abyss Phi TC or LCD-4, definitely better with the extra power from the GS-X Mini.

MacedonianHero you are using any custom balanced cables with utopia to listen in gsx mini? If yes, which cable? Im looking for a xlr cable for them but dont know which one will pair better with this combo.

I'm using the DanaCable Lazuli cable. Best I've heard with the Utopia!
